Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Other mistake: In the previous episode it was established that the final takes place the day after the semifinals. The kids went right away to the hospital and talked about the match against Musashi, wearing normal clothes, and had a night adventure searching the town left and right. In this episode another day passes by before the final.

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Character mistake: In the Italian dub, Hyuga mentions the lesson he learned from "Julian Ross" (Jun Misugi). He never played against him or his team, and was even in a coma during their match. He meant "Philip Callahan" (Hikaru Matsuyama). (00:13:35)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Other mistake: Wakabayashi is holding the ball left from Tsubasa's lame attempt. His hand is positioned differently on the ball between shots, as noticeable from the hexagons. In that shot, his hat also has the wrong name "WGNZO", missing an E. (00:20:25)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Genzo walks out of the hotel wearing gloves in the long shot, wearing what appear to be miscolored flesh-toned gloves in several shots, and bare hands in the close-up. (00:08:00)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Other mistake: With a sigh, Genzo has to admit that he can't do anything for Hyuga and waiting is the only option. For his last line, his hat says just "W Genz" and not "W Genzo." (00:06:40)

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Other mistake: Throughout the game, the announcer has no clue about Misugi's heart problem - which is not publicly known anyway - yet at the end of the match he makes a comment about it.

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: In the hotel room, the boys talk about Misugi and his condition. Taki is wearing a white tee and red pants, but in the next panning shot of the room he is wearing blue jeans. (00:11:00)

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The Nankatsu players reach Misugi, on his knees and helped out by the goalkeeper and the manager. The keeper is not wearing gloves in close-up, he is in the next shot. (00:06:40)

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Factual error: The whole "Did the referee blow his whistle because of the goal, or because the match is over" isn't possible; the referee blows his whistle three times for the end of the match, not just a single time. (However, it should be noted that technically it's a universally adopted convention but not a hard-coded rule). (00:05:50)

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Other mistake: The Musashi team are ready for the kick off. But the aerial view shows the teams in positions incompatible with the situation; not every player is in their own half, and even more noticeably, there are no players by the center mark, in fact nowhere near. (00:03:05)

My Heart Still Beats - S2-E10

Other mistake: Tsubasa gets the stray ball very close to the goal line. Regardless of that, the Musashi players surround him and there's a larger portion of field around them with no lines. (00:17:30)
